Board Update: Curb Appeal Awards, food truck Tuesday, free snow cones Thursday, directories coming soon

 Hello, Eagle Nest residents!


Here is what's ahead in the neighborhood for the week of August 10:

CURB APPEAL AWARDS: It's time to announce the winners of the annual Eagle Nest Curb Appeal Awards! Drum roll, please ...

First place: 8229 Tern Court (Lot 404), Stephen and JoAnn Hoskins


Second place: 7840 Teel Way (Lot 115), Otis and Janice Ashley


Third place: 8021 Teel Way (Lot 54), Duane Hall


Honorable mentions: 7809 Nightingale Court (Lot 332, below left), Jim and Claudette Lane; 8246 Hummingbird Court (Lot 415, below right), Greg and Mindy Knapp.


How do you win a Curb Appeal Award? Basically, it comes down to how your property appears from the curb - the landscaping presentation and overall condition of the home. (The contest was suspended in 2019 because of other neighborhood business.)
 
This year, there are so many well-maintained properties in our development the judging committee literally had pull winning addresses from a hat. Each winner earns a VISA gift card and the opportunity to display a Curb Appeal Award winner sign provided by the Board.
 
Curb Appeal Award winners set the standard for home ownership in Eagle Nest, shining examples of why our neighborhood is a popular residential destination. Well-kept properties translate into solid property values, and that's something we all can appreciate.
 
Congrats to all our 2020 Curb Appeal Award winners!

Board Update: Curb Appeal Award winners, inaugural Card Night on Oct. 10, live music Oct. 21 at Clubhouse!

The Board hopes everyone’s fall season is off to a great start. October is shaping up to be a busy month in Eagle Nest – read on! 2023 Curb Appeal Awards winners announced! The Board is proud to recognize the following lots as winners of our 2023 Curb Appeal Awards, presented to Eagle Nest owners for their outstanding lot and house maintenance. First place (tied): 8031 Teel Way , above left, (Lot 52, Clayton Napier) and 8111 Warbler Way , above right (Lot 229, Todd and Rokeena Williams).  Both homes underwent extensive exterior renovations in recent years, including new roofing, new siding, new paint, wood repair, landscaping and more (all pre-approved by the Rules and Restrictions Committee, by the way). The owners could have saved considerable money by moving to a newer home in another neighborhood, but they chose to stay and invest in their properties. Clearly, the time and effort paid off, as both lots are shining examples of how to bring out the best in a property. Projects like t

Board update: Pool closing Labor Day, annual dog swim, Curb Appeal Awards, live music coming to Clubhouse!

Image
Pool closes Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 4  All good things come to and end, as the saying goes, and that includes our 2023 Pool season. Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 4, is the last day of operation for our facility, with hours from noon to 8 p.m. It’s been a great summer of swimming, despite a few mechanical and staffing issues, so please be sure to thank Pool Manager Samantha Burns and her lifeguard staff for a job well done. For the most part, our facility was staffed and open daily the entire summer, unlike many of the city’s public pools – including nearby Sahm Park. We hope to see all our guards back next year, but if you know someone interested in joining the Eagle Nest Pool staff, please contact Samantha. In the meantime, enjoy these last days of swimming! Third Annual Eagle Nest Dog Swim on Sept. 4 Calling all Eagle Nest dog owners: Bring your furry friend to the Pool at 8:01 p.m. Monday, Sept. 4, for our third annual Eagle Nest Dog Swim. Residents are welcome to bring their pets (no

The winners of the 2023 Holiday Lights Contest are ...

Every year, judging for our annual Holiday Lights Contest gets tougher and tougher, and 2023 was no exception. This year’s challenge: sizing up more than 100 homes with lot decorations in a variety of colorful shapes, sizes and configurations, some traditional, some creative, all a colorful sign of season. Our independent judge from out-of-state (a former resident, no less!) struggled with all the choices, but after applying stringent judging criteria and washing it through our patented AI matrix, she came up with the following results: 1ST PLACE: 8250 Warbler Way (Tom and Cindy Corbett) Judge’s comment: "Last year's second-place finisher – and previous five-time winner – reclaims the top spot, though barely as competition was stiff all across the neighborhood. This is the property to beat every year.” 2ND PLACE: 8133 Bittern Lane (Kevin and Bronwyn Caddell) Judge's comment: "This display was simply a gem with an eye-popping mix of yard and landscape lighting.
